Ronald , your arguments are lame at best. You're quick to rail against something , but when pressed for reasons why , you can't come up with a thing. Then you misdirect by bringing up the child like name calling ??

Oh , I got it alright. You're just a sheeple following the masses in your need to make yourself feel like you're one of the crowd around you.

Pretty sad when a person stands for something , but has no idea of what that something is or even why they stand for it.

Yeah , I got it and I'm laughing my ass of at you right now.

I have an idea for ya Ron ... why don't we pay the oil companies NOT to produce like we do the farmers ?

And now , you have no idea and don't get it , either .

Do you remember when I said this:

I'm not getting, nor I have I ever gotten, the worship of the super-rich by the middle and upper middle class who've been so laughably, if not idiotically, deluded by the super-rich into worshiping them -- a class of people who wouldn't deign so low as to let their dogs piss on their lawns.Worship the oil companies who routinely push the price of their product to nearly unaffordable and calculate when to drop those prices and the worshipers are so teeming with thanks they forgive all immediately because they can once again afford the stuff as regard it as they same way they regard a return to good weather and any other natural phenomenon that becomes more forgiving and more clement.They really don't give a fuck even if there's a huge oil spill or undersea eruption (Exxon & BP) and the super-rich owners don't give a fuck -- possibly its helpful to have gone to an expensive school to give even less of a fuck. (Appropriate here is the Arthur C. Clark quotation, "In my life I have seen too many who were educated beyond their intelligence." A neat quotation that has enjoyed other, various permutations going back to "who knows?")Well, has Ayn Rand risen from the grave to bolster another round of "Trickle-Down-Reaganomics?" In such a short time a nation of badly "educated" idiots are celebrating a disaster. Well, why not? This time it might have a bigger impact and wipe those middle and upper middle class imbeciles off the economic map altogether! Well, fuck 'em!

hey ronny, you and arkay sure have that right. comprehension isn't a strongpoint with pedro.

I tried to dumb it down so you couldn't miss it. I even prefaced it for you, starting off with "My answer to your question is this...." What more can I do?

On October 28, I wrote:

My answer to your question is thus: It's a stupid question. Once again, what does "relieve" my hatred for the oil companies even mean? Do you even understand your own question? So, I'll pretend it's a real question and here's my real answer: I don't have any need or desire to "relieve my hatred." I'm perfectly comfortable hating the oil companies because they prey on the public in order to maximize their profits. They make boat loads of money without the need to screw the public, yet they still keep on doing it. There's no solution in the current environment. Stopping all of their tax breaks and subsidies would be nice, but that's a drop in the bucket. Good enough Pedro?

Now you don't like the answer, but that's not my problem. Now adjust the tin foil and move on dood.

[lecture mode] You'll want to be careful with your spelling. It's odd when a word means something different in another language (eg word in Dutch is the 1st person singular present form of "to become"), but if you use alternative spelling to try and sound hip, and with that evoke wrong imagery, please take care. In your case, you typed dood. I assume you used that as alternate I-am-kool spelling of "dude". However, "dood" is the Dutch word for death. By typing it as a separate part of a sentence, you briefly conjured up strong negative imagery in this little Dutch lady here.

Possible misinterpretations in this text:(listed as "used English word - meaning of this word in Dutch"want - mitteneg - harrow (tool)in - inis - isof - orpresent - present at a locationwrong - past tense of wringen, to wringas - axiskool - cabbagespelling - spellingpart - sectionbrief - letterhere - Lord, old-fashioned, nowadays only used with the phrase "hij is in de Here", to describe someone is or has become overly religious.[/lecture mode]

Nah. Every language has its difficulties. English has relatively complicated tenses: conjugation is easy but it's not easy for a non-native speaker to figure out which tense goes where. English also has rather difficult praepositions: there's a wide range of them and speakers of Slavonic languages will have problems with those.Even for me as a Dutchman, there are complications. In a lot of cases I could use the Dutch equivalent of a praeposition, such as in the case it's not easy for a non-native speaker, in Dutch in such a case you'd use voor which comes from the same root. However, in a line like the lamp hung over the table, you wouldn't use the Dutch word over to express the former location of the lamp in relation to the table. You'd use the word boven, above.
